Hi,

I am also a cs student and I was wondering if you have done any tech interviews before. If you have, would you mind sharing your experiences/tips?

I avoided answering this question for ages. Mostly because my answer would be, yes, I have extensive experience with technical interviews, but no, I can't share tips because I absolutely suck at them.

It is my greatest failing as a self appointed technology expert - the fact that I choke whenever I need to code on command under a time crunch while being watched. My mind blanks out, I mix up the syntax of every language I know, and I become a nervous, stuttering wreck. It's super not cute. I am still working through the self imposed stigma I have associated with tech interviews, and while I have some scattered thoughts regarding tips and navigating them successfully, I don't feel right sharing advice that I am bad at implementing myself.

Therefore, could I take a raincheck on this question? Once I have identified where I am struggling, and gotten better at tackling them myself, I will made an advice post addressing it. Until then, I open the floor to my lovely followers in the comments. Feel free to share any tips that you guys have found helpful!

So bird box, you and then bandersnatch all have something in common.

3. They’re all about murder.
